“
“His figurative painting (which uses photography as its basic model) and his abstract painting - which reflects formal geometric abstraction as well as a much looser abstraction. By placing paint on photographs, with all their random and involuntary expressiveness, Gerhard Richter reinforces the unique aspect of each of these mediums and opens a field of tension rich in paradoxes, as old as the couple – painting / photography –which has largely defined modern art.”
I just love his photographs of paintings. And his paintings of photographs.
